After some reflection about what would be suitable and accessible for my schedule right now I decided to shift my inquiry from what I wrote about in my last inquiry blog post. I decided to shift my focus to growing my social media, specifically Instagram, following. This is the first week that I tracked what I posted on Instagram and it was definitely an adjustment for me. I posted 3 times this past week so I did hit my target for the first week. However, I did not see very much engagement or growth this week. I am not too surprised by this as it is my first week of posting semi-regularly after not posting regularly for quite awhile.
I did not spend much time engaging with other creators this week which could also attribute to my lower engagement on these posts. I am hoping to spend a dedicated amount of time after posting engaging with other accounts. I also have not kept up with replying to all the comments on my posts, but I am hoping that will get more natural over time as well.
I posted 1 reel and 2 photo posts this week and the reel definitely performed the best. I also posted one Valentine’s day inspired picture and a January photo dump. The collection of photos from January (the ~photo dump~) performed the worst, which aligns with what I have noticed in the past. However, I like a good photo dump and think it can share more of your personality and life so I will continue to do them.
I was able to discuss with some other creators I know and brainstorm ideas specifically for Valentine’s day content which inspired me and got me excited for creating again – a feeling I miss! I also met with my learning pod to discuss our inquiry projects and we all had topics that I think will better our lives in some way, which is pretty cool for a class project! Overall, I am feeling pretty good about how much I posted, but am looking forward to dedicating more time to engagement and creating new content.
